Posted February 18, 200718 yr "Nelly Furtado has overcome her fear of expressing herself in Spanish and is recording her first Spanish language album. The singer decided to follow in the footsteps of other stars who have had successful Spanish albums including Christina Aguilera, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.She tells MTV News, "I'm in the midst of recording a Latin album. It's like, 'Wow, I'm writing a song in Spanish!' It's really bizarre, but really great."Furtado, who grew up speaking Portuguese, didn't learn Spanish until she was 14-years-old. Although she has sung a few songs in Spanish before, including "Te Busque" on Loose, this is the first time she's attempted to write songs from scratch." The date of Release is May 2007 [Geffen] Supposed Confirmed Tracks: "Estoy Como Un Pajaro" (I'm Like A Bird) "No Hay Igual" featuring Calle 13 "Apagame" (Turn Off The Light) "Reambiente" featuring Julieta Venegas "La Chica En La Disco" (Promiscuous) "No Dejes Atrà s" (Try) "Amante Nocturno" "Suave Y Lento" "Por Donde Me Dejas" "Dilo" (Say It Right) Supposed rumoured tracks: "Señorita" and "Mas Informacion". I'll update this thread regularly with more info as it comes ^_^
February 20, 200718 yr Well, personally I cannot wait for this! I will cream my jeans when I get to listen to it! :lol: But some of those titles sound so fake - La Chica En La Disco :puke2: And I can't imagine there being translations of old songs like ILAB... I've got to say this though, ever since Shakira released Fijacion Oral 1, it's become the in thing to do, to release a Spanish language album.
February 20, 200718 yr I've got to say this though, ever since Shakira released Fijacion Oral 1, it's become the in thing to do, to release a Spanish language album. I Totally Agree ^_^ I'm looking forward to this :cheer:
February 20, 200718 yr Even thouigh I don't know any Spanish, I do like songs sung in it [well some]. I'm sure I will buy this, whether I love it or not, well we'll have to wait and see.
February 22, 200718 yr Oh well, it looks like it's official. Will get it anyway (i have the Nelly bug now)
February 23, 200718 yr I think thats it not smart to try and follow the footsteps of Xtina and Shakira.. she has to stay original.. Am looking forward to the album tho! :D
February 27, 200718 yr Yeah well Loose is still doing Excellent, so hopefully Geffen have the sense to release it, when sales start to drop a bit ^_^
February 27, 200718 yr Yeah, hopefully they refrain from putting this one out too soon. Loose is doing way too good for this to come out now!
March 2, 200718 yr Yeah, hopefully they refrain from putting this one out too soon. Loose is doing way too good for this to come out now! Exactly :D I dont think this will do to well in the UK to be honest, but hopefully it does really well in Spain :D
March 3, 200718 yr She said to a Brazilian Newspaper this week that All Good Things and Te Busqué will have portuguese versions and "The fact is that my next album is going to have even more portuguese stuff and a lot of brazilian percussion." So I guess this is not really a spanish album.. but a both language album.
